WWZMDiB CH341A EEPROM BIOS Programmer SPI I2C + SOIC8 SOP8 Clip + SOP8 SOP16 Conversion Plate for 24 25 Series Flash

bought this CH341A programmer kit to recover/reflash the bios on an MSI laptop that I picked up as a repair project. The laptop still powered on, but the bios setup was locked, so I wanted to make a verified dump of the SPI flash and reprogram it with the correct official bios image. My chip was a Macronix MX25L12873F, which 1 did not see specifically listed on the included 25-series support chart, but the programmer still worked correctly with it. The chip was detected through flashrom under the compatible Macronix profile, and I was able to read the full 16mb bios image, make multiple matching dumps, write the replacement image, and verify it successfully. The SOIC& clip also worked well enough once I had it aligned correctly. As with all bios/SPI work, the connection has to be solid. I had the laptop fully disconnected from AC power, main battery, and CMOS battery before attaching the clip. After reading the chip multiple times and confirming matching hashes, I flashed the official MSI bios image and the laptop booted successfully afterward with access restored A few notes for anyone buying this for bios repair: Make sure your chip voltage is correct before connecting anything. My chip was a 3.3 V SPI flash chip, not 1.8 V. Also, do not skip the backup step (trust me). Read the chip more than once and verify that the dumps match before writing anything. The included adapter/clip is useful, but the process still requires care, patience, and the right software. Overall, this kit did exactly what I needed. It worked on my MX25L12873F even though that exact chip was not listed and it saved this laptop from becoming an expensive paperweight. Good value for anyone doing bios recovery, EEPROM/SPI flashing, or board-level tinkering/repair work.

Tenía 2 laptops con problema de bios una Dell y una Hp. Con el pude reprogramar fácilmente y sin problema, no tuve que desoldar la bios ni nada. El programa lo encuentran en línea y los archivos hay un canal en telegram que tiene de todas las marcas.

Muy buen producto, me sirvió para la recuperación del bios

Worked perfectly, it's a shame the drivers don't work on ARM64 though.

4/5 based on price to quality comparison. Would have liked some type of instructions, or at least a link to a site with a diagram for different chips. I need 3.3 V to flash my bios chip, but wasn't able to find documentation on how to set it upp. Although I don't think that is specific to this brand. It seems to be difficult to find instructions on using these programmers in general. Especially for a 3.3 V chip without having to do DIY modifications. I would still recommend it if you know that it will work for what you're trying to do. Its worth the price and I will be keeping the one I have even though I couldn't use it this time. It's going in my computer tool bag.
